c. 1200, from Old Norse geta (past tense gatum, past participle getenn) 'to obtain, reach; to be able to; to beget; to learn; to be pleased with,' a word of very broad meaning, often used almost as an auxilliary verb, also frequently in phrases (such as geta rett 'to guess right'). This is from Proto-Germanic *getan (source also of Old Swedish gissa 'to guess,' literally 'to try to get'), from PIE root *ghend- 'to seize, take.'

Old English, as well as Dutch and Frisian, had the verb almost exclusively in compounds (such as begietan, 'to beget;' forgietan 'to forget'). Vestiges of an Old English cognate *gietan remain obliquely in modern past participle gotten and original past tense gat, also Biblical begat.

'I GOT on Horseback within ten Minutes after I received your Letter. When I GOT to Canterbury I GOT a Chaise for Town. But I GOT wet through before I GOT to Canterbury, and I HAVE GOT such a Cold as I shall not be able to GET rid of in a Hurry. I GOT to the Treasury about Noon, but first of all I GOT shaved and drest. I soon GOT into the Secret of GETTING a Memorial before the Board, but I could not GET an Answer then, however I GOT Intelligence from the Messenger that I should most likely GET one the next Morning. As soon as I GOT back to my Inn, I GOT my Supper, and GOT to Bed, it was not long before I GOT to Sleep. When I GOT up in the Morning, I GOT my Breakfast, and then GOT myself drest, that I might GET out in Time to GET an Answer to my Memorial. As soon as I GOT it, I GOT into the Chaise, and GOT to Canterbury by three: and about Tea Time, I GOT Home. I HAVE GOT No thing particular for you, and so Adieu.' [Philip Withers, 'Aristarchus, or the Principles of Composition,' London, 1789, illustrating the widespread use of the verb in Modern English]
